Additionally, her mother, Freda Brady, is part of a group of five sisters (including Yaritji Young, Tjungkara Ken, Sandra Ken, and Maringka Tunkin) renowned for their collaborative artworks, including the acclaimed winning entry at the prestigious Wynne Prize held by the Art Gallery of NSW in 2016.
